Carried by Grace

A waking nightmare had descended on our lives.
"My twelve-year-old daughter had put a chef’s knife to her chest and threatened to kill herself. Her step-dad was sexually abusing her. I felt swallowed by darkness — like Jonah in the belly of the whale. I my grief I cried out to God, "This can’t be happening.'"

“My twelve-year-old daughter had put a chef’s knife to her chest and threatened to kill herself. Her action was an outward sign of the implosion that occurred in her life long before that day. Her step-dad was sexually abusing her.
